The shell-shocked Le Tong spent the entire day feeling somewhat absent-minded, and saying she was a walking corpse wouldn't be an exaggeration.

But a postponement doesn't mean acquittal, and Le Tong's relief was merely the noose around her neck loosening a bit, yet it still hung there.
Le Tong absentmindedly finished work, then absentmindedly entered the kitchen, and finally, absentmindedly served dinner at the table.
